For one I would start with the 4 buttons on the bottom right of each post, particularly the quote and thumbs up buttons. I would increase the resolution of the fonts and add a touch more detail to the graphics. Also the thumb could be touched up to look a little less 8-bit. The bar at the top of each page, I would darken the light blue font color and make the drop down arrows a simple white arrow with a black outline, right now it has that touch of a drop shadow which just doesn't work. The picture at the top left, the orange FR-S, looks like 3 different images thrown together. I would change that into more of a cohesive theme and at the least make it less cartoonish looking. Also to the right of that image there are the words FT86club.com. I would increase the resolution of that and make sure the M is not cut off. The M being cut off reeks of rookie designer. The bottom left of each post, where is says user status, that graphic also looks very 8-bit. Going back to the main forum listings the 86 drift logo is also of very low quality. Other than that is looks nice.

The orange car at the top looks like puke, otherwise it's just fine. Switch it back to the monkey ass red!

The "user:online" text is completely unneeded, a strain on the eyes, as are the edit and quote buttons. The previous icons used for these 2 items were much simpler, everyone knew what they meant. Text in banner is hard to see, cut off - looks amateurish.

Also - why can we not choose our own colour themes in teh CP? many forums allow this. This boring grey theme is looking old.

I happen to like 8-bit. Flawless is not my style.

I don't like the orange car either, at least the butt monkey red was good. I <3 the blue though.

That would go nicely with a red one in place of the orange

Just one very tiny (maybe dumb) complaint.. Can we change the orange frs atop to a red one? you know, the old one was red, and it'd be pretty cool to keep that

My .02 everything else is fine, buttons are in the same place anyways so I like Good Job Hachi! And that mysterious FT-HS guy ( I think his name is)
